What to Do if Your Pre-Signed Checks are Stolen

My question involves personal finance in the State of: Mississippi I just found out tonight that a truck load of signed checks were being stolen from me. yes i signed the checks with the intent of paying my subcontractors weekly. over the past 6 months they have been ran through my account. they were clever about it using the names of other subs and keeping the amount along the size of normal paying amounts( compared to my other workers). I know who did it. THey stole 39 checks totaling $25197. what would a methodical person do? Do banks have insurance to cover these things? should my general liability for my company cover this? i have 4 days and i will know exactly where these two individuals will be.

Re: Stolen Signed Checks

I suggest you work with the bank to close the account and open a new one. I also suggest you hire a bookkeeper to reconcile your bank statements. When you reported this organized theft ring of subcontractors to the police what did they say? It is unlikely the bank will cover your losses.
